According to organizer Cyrena Arnold, the Francestown 5K is run in memory of Tom Peters, an avid marathon runner who passed away in 2023. Peters completed 33 consecutive Boston Marathons and ran the Francestown 5K many times.
“Tom was known all around Francestown and would wave to every passing car while out on his runs and walks. He called our little 5K ‘one of the best organized and well run 5K’s I have had the good fortune to run in’ and said, ‘this event an integral part of our Labor Day planning and events every year,'” Arnold said.
The sponsors of the 2025 Francestown 5K were Camirand’s Car Care, Bob’s Chocolate Cafe, Andrew Grant’s Tree Service, Francestown Village Store, New Boston Pizza, Ted’s Shoe & Sport, Frogton Pond Farm, The Old Meeting House and Crotched Mountain. For information, see the race website.
